Title: Scaling of the Euler characteristic, surface area, and curvatures in the phase separating or ordering systems
Abstract: We present robust scaling laws for the Euler characteristic and applicable to any symmetric system undergoing phase or ordering kinetics. We apply it to the phase ordering in a of the nonconserved scalar order parameter and find three scaling The appearance: of the preferred nonzero curvature of an separating +/- domains marks the crossover to the late stage regime characterized by the Lifshitz-Cahn-Allen scaling.
